Synopsis

It is the night of the Winter Solstice in 2120. At one of thousands of community gatherings across the United States, a storyteller begins the annual retelling of how, back in 2023, the people took over their own government, making it a means for mobilizing their collective power to promote peace, social justice, environmental responsibility, and a society hospitable to the needs of the human spirit.

She recounts what life was like before: how public policy was dominated by corporate interests that infected almost every area of life. A united movement, led by a new kind of grass-roots political party, was necessary for real change She tells how, over a period of years, that movement developed and succeeded in creating a nonviolent revolution.

Part vision of the road forward for today's concerned citizens, part organizing tool, Return of the Light is a source of hope and inspiration.
